Re: [Qemu-trivial] [PATCH] object_new_with_type: remove redundant code

[Cao jin <caoj.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com>]

Hi Michael,

     Thanks very much for your reply, there is a tiny mistake here, I 
sent the patch with email format typo "=qemu-devel@nongnu.org" and got 
"undeliverable" feeback. so I sent it again...I thought you can`t 
receive the 1st one, but obviously I make a wrong guess...I Already 
replied the 2nd one stating that I realized I am wrong about this patch: 
type_initialize(type) is used to assign a value to type->instance_size 
when it is called 1st time, so it could malloc in the following.

Your opinion make sense to me, thanks for sharing it with me. As a 
personal habit, I prefer to figure out the arch of the project when I 
learn it, and you know, sometimes it is hard to figure out why author 
wrote that way, especially lacking of doc and comment, and having no one 
around to discuss with. So, Thanks very much for discussing with me and 
your time, I appreciate it.
